bascially i dont want to get a water cooling setup as i cant afford it but
i figure more air flow might cool my pc down abit more.
im currently running:

1x78CFM on my scythe ninja
1x78CFM intake (Side)
1x42CFM Scythe Fan (intake & cools HDD's)
1x44CFM Amber intake (rear)

i need some better fans all arround so i'd need 4 with higher outputs that
what i have at a reasonable price, dont care too much about noise but dont
go crazy suggesting deltas as tehr £18 each from ocuk and im not paying £80 for fans.
 
well im getting a new case.. and i used those with no front and no side pannel, Thermal Take tsunami dream and im getting an enermax cs-718B
 
Make sure you get a case with 120mm fans front & rear. Then you can forget all about case cooling and concentrate on "spot" cooling.
 
by the looks of things dont you already have akasa blue led fans which alredy push over 60cfm, i doubt upgrading them to 78cfm is going to make much difference as the case is what 4-5 cf
 
so it looks like im staying at current temps or going over to water or phase (not anytime soon)
 
Awesome case - mod a decent fan onto the side, blowing straight down onto the RAM/PWMIC/Chipset and you should be good - knocked about 20C off mine doing that :D (could even get one of those nicenew 140mm jobs if you are really serious about it)

I go one of these:

A rather fetching PAPST TYPE 5550 120mm:
An absolute monster running off 240v, I'll have to dig about and get the stats :D
 
so what CFM does that papst move? at the mo i have 2x1200mm deltas and they are louder than my hoover and hairdryer
 
What are your temps like? If they are ok I would be more interested in silencing my computer than making it louder.

Have a look for the xinrulian 0.4a 120mm fans if you must, about a fiver each and push around 100cfm (the specs are wrong)

dont know if that was for me or the OP, but with the fan running flat out, on an xp-120 heatsink the delta keeps my stock 4400+ X2 @ 27-30 C under full load
 
i can get theses: 120mm Xclio 16 Blade Quiet Cooling Fan - Clear Frame - Clear Blades - 4 x Blue LED's 2400rpm Ball
for £5.10 and they push 96

TEMPS:

CPU = 54 can go up to 60
PWMIC = 46-50
Chipset = 45-54

What about re-arranging the fans you have?

Say:
42 or 44cfm on HS
78CFM intake front
78CFM exhaust (rear)

Then try it without then with the side fan and see what difference it makes to RAM, PWMIC and NF4 Chipset.
 
i think, if i dont find any better/cheaper ones the i'll be getting 4 of those 96cfm fans.. intake,exhaust,heatsink,HDD;s and maybe a 5th for the side
 
My Papst monster is actually to help out my poor overworked chiller (was only designed for 250w and I'm pushing in excess of 400W through it :eek: ) It's an awesome fan (yes it's the one off the bay - and unfortunately I can't track down the stats as the info online isn't correct - when I get home I'll look it up again and let you know!)

It is an effort, but I'm actually now considering modding it into the front of my case (I love my Tower!) with a standard dimmer switch attached to it - If I can convince it to run at half speed it will be awesome - yes - at 240v it is LOUD :D
 
Got myself 3 "Panaflo fba12g12h"

idle temp is now down to 31-33 "Core Temp Beta"
load temp is now down to 45-48 "Core Temp Beta"

chipset and pwmic temps are also down from 45-50 to 34-36
